Dear M Williams,
I refer to your email of 6 April 2023 for information regarding security
vetting. The Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) requires that a decision
on your request be provided no later than 20 working days after the day
your request was received. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet
that time limit and this email is to notify you of an extension of the
time to make a decision, to 21 June 2023 .
This extension is necessary because consultations required to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.
You retain the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to ask an Ombudsman
to review my decision to extend your request.
Regards
Corporate and Ministerial Services
OCDF, Office of Chief of Defence Force
